medicine The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract

In addition to providing energy, fats have other functions in the body The
fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies Good
source of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in
the bodys fatty tissues In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach,
thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten
Fats add variety, taste and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of
fried foods Fatty deposits in body have an insulating and protective value The
curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not
definitely known When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases,
their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged
Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and
hence are called essential fatty acids They are also required by a number of other
animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable Most nutritionists consider
linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans

but a lot of these goods are imported By the beginning of the 20th century, other
industrial countries like the USA were (39) with Britain's exports, and countries in
the Far East have been able to provide cheaper (40) since the 1970s Areas
located with heavy industries are suffering high unemployment During the last 30
years, there has been a constant rise in smaller industries (41) as "light
industries" These ones use electricity and are not (42) on raw materials such
as coal so they are "footloose", i.e they can be located anywhere They produce
such things as washing machines or spare (43) Some of these industries
produce nothing at all, but provide services like distribution The consumer boom of

Questions 46 -55.Read and mark the letter A,B,C,or D to indicate the best
answer
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of
an object, each slightly different than the preceding frame In computer animation,
although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases
the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce
the drawings between the first and the last drawing This is generally referred to as
computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an
originator
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of pictures
These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in
the pictures as they exist in mathematical space The database consists of
endpoints, and color and intensity information Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color terminals or frame buffers The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single frame It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality images possible, expensive film recorders are used The computercomputes the positions and colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this
information to the recorder, which captures it on film Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder Once
this process is completed, it is repeated for the next frame When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded This approach can be very expensive and time consuming Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their
computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images
46 What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A The production process B The equipment needed
C The high cost D The role of the artist
47 According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the
A first frame B middle frames
C last frame D entire sequence of frames
48 The word "they" in the second paragraph refers to
A formulas B databases C numbers D objects
49 According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph
are used to
A add color to the images B expose several frames at the same time
C store individual images D create new frames
50 According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are determined by
A drawing several versions
B enlarging one frame at a lime
C analyzing the sequence from different angles
D using computer calculations
51 The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to
A separates B registers C describes D numbers
52 The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to
53.According to the passage,how do computer-animation companies often test motion?
A They experiment with computer-generated line drawings
15
Trang 16B They hand-draw successive frames
C They calculate high-resolution images
D They develop extensive mathematical formulas
54 The word "task" in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to
A possibility B position C time D job
55 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A Computers have reduced the costs of animation
B In the future, traditional artists will no longer be needed
C Artists are unable to produce drawings as high in quality as computer drawings
D Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills
Questions 56 - 65 Read and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to
flee Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance
the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours
that are used by prey in fleeing predators Perhaps the most direct adaptation is
enhanced light speed and agility
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so
we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic
and unpredictable way Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various
antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion Rapid
unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective
in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more
effective against predators that are slower One observation that supports this
suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are
normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent
changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept
at capturing flying birds)
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash"
behaviour Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes."
Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity
followed by immobility may confuse them "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by
frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit
immobile In some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright
body markings Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and
yellow underwing moths At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color When they
fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths
highly conspicuous Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches
or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly Some species even
appear to possess "flash" sounds The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by
some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement
56 The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to
A encourage B resist C increase D reveal
57 The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement
is
A reliable B fast C constant D unpredictable
58 It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare
A is faster than most of its predators
B is capable of two kinds of flight
C is more likely to escape using straight flight
D is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
59 The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of
C peregrine falcons D frogs
60 It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons?
A The falcons are faster than the gulls
B.The gulls want to capture the falcons
C The falcons are unpredictable
D.The gulls depend on the falcons for protection
61 The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to
A moving B selected C frightened D exhausted
62 All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour
EXCEPT
A brief conspicuous activity B immobility
C bright body markings D aggressive fighting
63 The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to
A especially B with difficulty C expertly D frequently
64 The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to
A the hind wings of peregrine falcons B the zigzag flight of European hares
C the colored patches on frogs D the clicking of grasshoppers
65 Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze"
B As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound
C To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles
D As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior Questions 66 - 70 Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to show the underlined part that.

Text 2: In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic The very first
vertebrates, or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in
the water These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater living Their
streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had
muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and
they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and
accommodated themselves to life on land As amphibians, they possessed limbs
instead of fins and lungs instead of gills But they never became completely free of
the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the
water to lay their eggs
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types
of land dwellers appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and
mammals They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and
biological activities far different from those of fish With these special adaptations,
mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high

Why did you decide to read this, and will you keep reading to the end? Do you
expect to understand every single part of it and will you remember anything about it
in a fortnights’ (41) ? Common sense (42) that the answers
to these questions depend on “readability” – whether the (43) matter is
interesting, the arguments clear and the layout attractive But psychologists are
discovering that to (44) why people read – and often don’t read –
technical information, they have to examine not so much the writing as the reader
Even the most technically confident people often ignore instructions for the video or
home computer in favour of hands-on experience And people frequently (45)
little notice of consumer information, whether on nutritional labels or in
the small print of contracts Psychologists researching reading (46) to
assume that both beginners and (47) readers read everything put in front
of them from start to finish There are (48) among them about the role
of eyes, memory and brain during the process Some believe that fluent readers take
(49) every letter or word they see; others (50) that readers
rely on memory or context to carry them from one phrase to another But they have
always assumed that the reading process is the same: reading starts, comprehension
occurs then reading stops

IV Read The following passage and choose the best answer:
The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual atoms
Although bacteria can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous substances
into the body of the organism they attack, viruses, like the influenza virus, are living
organisms themselves We may consider them regular chemical molecules since
they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must consider
them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities
An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body produces atemporary immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the type of virusthat caused the influenza Because the disease can be produced by any one of threetypes, referred to as A, B, or C, and many strains within each type, immunity to onevirus will not prevent infection by another type or strain
Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called pandemics
occur Thought to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these pandemic viruses
have spread rapidly, inflecting millions of people Epidemics or regional outbreakshave appeared on the average every two or three years or type-A virus, and everyfour or five years for type-B virus

A they have a complex atomic struture C they multiply
56.The atomic structure of viruses
A is variable C cannot e analyzed chemically
B is strictly defined D is more complex than that of bacteria
57.The word “unlimited” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A very small B very large C very similar D very different58.How does the body react to the influenza virus?
A It prevents further infection to other types and strains of the virus
B It produces immunity to the type and strain of virus that invaded it
C It becomes immune to types A, B, and C viruses, but not to various strains withinthe types
D After a temporary immunity, it becomes even more susceptible to the type andstrain that caused the influenza
59.The author names all of the following as characteristics of pandemics except
A they spread very quickly C they are regional outbreaks
B they are caused by type-A virus D they occur once every ten years.60.The word “strains” is closest in meaning to
A theories B injuries C varieties D weakness

VIII Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to

Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’homes and offices For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word
processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the
work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material
to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are
approximately 8,7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising25
Trang 26annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business
Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago Why
hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance
on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the
telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager’s responsibilities
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are
reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular
interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same
consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some
people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they
never really get away from the office
71 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned ?
A The advantages of telecommuting
B A definition of telecommuting
C An overview of telecommuting
D The failure of telecommuting
72 How many Americans are involved in telecommuting ?
A More than predicted in Business Week B More than 8 million.
C Fewer than estimated in USA Today. D Fewer than last year
73 The phrase “of no consequence” means
A of no use B of no good C unimportant D
irrelevant
74 The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting EXCEPT
A the opportunities for advancement
B the different system of supervision.
C the lack of interaction with a group
D The work place is in the home
75 The word “ executives “ in line 10 refers to
A telecommuters B managers C employees D most people
76 The word “ them” in line 11 refers to
responsibilities
77 The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees
A need regular interaction with their families
B are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.
C feel that a work area in their home is away from the office
D are ignorant of telecommuting
78 It can be inferred from the passage that the author is
A a telecommuter B the manager C a statistician D a reporter
79 The word “reluctant” in line 13 can best be replaced by
A opposite B willing C hesitate D typical
80 When Business Week published “ The Portable Executive “, it implied that
A systems for managing telecommuters were not effective
B there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting.
C the trend for telecommuting was optimistic
D most telecommuters were satisfied with their work

IV Read The following passage and choose the best answer:
The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual
atoms Although bacteria can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous
substances into the body of the organism they attack, viruses, like the influenza virus,
are living organisms themselves We may consider them regular chemical molecules
since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must
consider them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities.
An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body
produces a temporary immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the
type of virus that caused the influenza Because the disease can be produced by any
one of three types, referred to as A, B, or C, and many strains within each type,
immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by another type or strain
Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called
pandemics occur Thought to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these
pandemic viruses have spread rapidly, inflecting millions of people Epidemics or
regional outbreaks have appeared on the average every two or three years or type-Avirus, and every four or five years for type-B virus

57.The word “unlimited” could be best replaced by which of the following?
D very different58.How does the body react to the influenza virus?
E It prevents further infection to other types and strains of the virus
F It produces immunity to the type and strain of virus that invaded it
G It becomes immune to types A, B, and C viruses, but not to various strains withinthe types
H After a temporary immunity, it becomes even more susceptible to the type andstrain that caused the influenza
59.The author names all of the following as characteristics of pandemics except
I they spread very quickly C they are regionaloutbreaks
J they are caused by type-A virus D they occur once everyten years
